Erik J writes: "Cryptic Studios has announced that their upcoming superhero MMORPG Champions Online has suffered a delay. The title, originally slated to arrive for PC and Xbox 360 on July 14th, has been pushed back to September 1st of this year. The studio claims the dev stems from the need to make the game as polished as possible. "It is critically important for an MMO to be as good as it possibly can be at launch," said executive producer Bill Roper. "Through our constant dialogue with our vocal and supportive community of beta testers, we quickly realized that in order to implement certain features that we all considered important the development of Champions Online would require more time.""

Erik J writes: "Apparently Jack had heard enough. The Florida Bar asked for an "enhanced disbarment" in the disciplinary hearing of Jack Thompson, held earlier this afternoon. The recommendation means Thompson would be disbarred and prohibited from applying to practice law again for ten years, according to 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida spokesperson Eunice Sigler. Thompson's disciplinary hearing apparently ended in the attorney walking out of the courtroom after saying the judge did not have the authority to hear his case."

Erik J writes: "In a fairly bold (and quite possibly stupid) move, the Sci-Fi Channel has announced plans to use missions and campaigns of players in their own developed MMO to shape and guide a new 'ongoing' television show. They hope to have the project up and ready to air by 2010, as they work with game developer Trion World Network to create 'the ultimate merging of the TV and gaming mediums.'"

Erik J writes: "(Fixed some errors in first submission) Remember about six weeks ago when Motley Crue and Rock Band partnered to release a new single premiering first in the game before anywhere else? Come to find out their song 'Saints of Los Angeles' was downloaded over 47,000 times beating out digital services iTunes and Amazon who only were only tapped 10,000 times for the single. I recently had a conversation about the very subject, pointing out that as compact discs die, and with online piracy rampant, artists will have to find other ways to distribute their music and subsequently earn their mega-money they so desperately want."
